  • the drawing shows in various representations of the cover part 2, intermediate part 3 and lower part 4 formed Cable connector 1 and each a sub-element 2, 3 and 4 of the connector 1.
  • Cover part 2 and intermediate part 3 form, joined together, the cover part.
  • Fig. 1 and 2 the cable connector 1 is shown partially assembled, with lid and intermediate part 2, 3 to be connected with round cables 5, 5 'are already assembled into a shell and are mounted together at one end of the lower part 4.
  • the Ein von tester form a kind of hinge around which the parts 2, 3 can be pivoted against the lower part 4, wherein the captured in the intermediate part 3 contacting elements 6 - 9 pierce the inserted into the lower part 4 flat cable 10 and in the strands of the wires 10 I - Anchor 10 IV .
  • FIG. 2 shows how each a contacting element 6 (and 7-9), which is arranged and held in the intermediate part 3, with the upwardly and downwardly projecting cutting tips 6 ', 6 "and 6''' the insulation of the wires 5" of Cable 5, 5 'and 10 pierces and anchored in the desired strands. This is done automatically when assembling or joining lid and intermediate part 2, 3 or intermediate part 3 and lower part 4.
  • Fig. 2 also shows how the round cables 5, 5 'are stripped in the region of the desired connection, so that the individual wires 5 "(with insulation) are exposed and can be arranged side by side in the cover part 2.
  • the individual parts 2, 3 and 4 of the cable connector can be held together by snap elements or additionally by screws (not shown).
  • 3 and 4 show the lid part 2 in detail.
  • the openings 11, 12 for introducing a round cable and guide grooves 13 for receiving the wires of the round cable are recognizable (the round cable is stripped behind the openings, so that the individual wires can be arranged in said grooves 13).
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 illustrate the intermediate part 3 of the cable connector 1.
  • the intermediate part has recesses 20 - 23 for receiving the guide pins 14 - 17 of the cover part and screw holes 24, 25.
  • Important are a number of continuous slots 26-29 for receiving and holding tape-shaped contacting elements (s. Fig. 9 ) with cutting surfaces projecting from the surfaces (the contacting elements are omitted here).
  • FIGS. 7 and 8 show the lower part 4, which is for receiving and guiding a multi-core flat cable (not shown here) is formed.
  • the recess 34 serves to receive a continuous, ie not interrupted flat cable.
  • the intermediate part 3 connected to the cover part 2 is placed on the lower part 4.
  • Fig. 9 1 shows an embodiment of a contacting element 6 to be arranged in the intermediate part 3 with cutting tips 6 ', 6 "(towards the cover part 2) or 6"' (towards the lower part 4).
  • pointed lugs 35, 36 are provided, which serve the clawing of the element 6 in the corresponding grooves 26 - 29 of the intermediate part 3.
  • the connector shell 2, 3 is provided either for the connection of one or two separate round cables 5, 5 'with stranded conductors 5 ".When one or two such round cables 5, 5' are to be connected, one or both are connected Narrow sides of the connector shell 2, 3 a round cable 5, 5 'introduced and stripped about 10 mm behind the entrance to the lid part inside The wires 5 "of the stripped round cable with the different colored wire insulation in preferably correspondingly differently colored marked grooves 13th inserted in the lid part 2.
  • the connector intermediate part 3 is arranged, in which the contacting elements 6 are used with the upwardly and downwardly directed cutting teeth 6 ', 6 "and 6"' for piercing the wire insulation.
  • the two upper cutting teeth 6 ', 6 "of the contacting elements 6 are spaced apart so far that the distance between the wires of two separately inserted round cables can be bridged and the wires of both cables can be pierced in the same operation pointed lugs 35, 36, with which they claw in the insulating body of the intermediate part 3.
  • the cover part 2 For insertion of the round cable 5 or 5 ', the upper halves of circular insertion openings 11, 12 are formed in the narrow sides of the connector cover part 2 and the lower halves are formed in the narrow sides of the connector intermediate part 3.
  • the cover part has a circumferential sealing rib 37 and the intermediate part 3 has a sealing groove 38.
  • the cover part 2 is provided with guide pins 14 - Provided 17 and in the intermediate part 3 receiving holes 20 - 23 for these guide pins 14 - 17 recessed. From the intermediate part 3, the guide pins 14 - 17 of the cover part 2 are now screwed to the intermediate part 3 through the receiving holes 20 - 23.
  • the wire insulation of the strands of or the round cable 5, 5 'of the upwardly directed cutting tips 6', 6 "of the contacting elements 6 are pierced, or introduced in the cover part 2 Cable 5, 5 'between the cover part 2 and intermediate part 3 clamped similar to a strain relief and the sealing rib 37 pressed into the sealing groove 38.
  • the cover part 2 is now firmly screwed onto the intermediate part 3.
  • the intermediate part 3 On its underside, around the zone, from which the downwardly directed cutting tips 6 '' for piercing the insulation of the flat cable cores 10 I - 10 IV protrude, the intermediate part 3 also has a circumferential sealing rib 39.
  • the connector intermediate part 3 is formed on a narrow side for hooking in the connector base 4, wherein intermediate part 3 and lower part 4 together form a pivoting hinge. While the intermediate part 3 and the lower part 4 engage on the hinge narrow side, the opposite ends of the narrow sides of lower part 4 and intermediate part 3 gap apart like a beak (see FIG. Fig. 1 and 2 ). By hand, the obliquely upstanding intermediate part 3 is now pressed into the lower part 4 until it engages in the lower part 4, whereby it is held for now.
  • the connector 1 is assembled, for example, by tightening two lateral screws (not shown) in the screw holes 18, 19; 24, 25; 40.41.
  • FIG. 10 shows a similar longitudinal section as FIG. 2 by a variant of a cable connector according to the invention.
  • the same parts (according to the first embodiment) are provided with the same reference numerals.
  • the wires of the round cables 5, 5 ' are guided and held in the intermediate part 3 and the cover part 2', 2 "primarily serves to hold down the round cable wires and into the cutting tips 6 ', 6" of the contacting element to press.
  • the cover part consists of two separate parts 2 ', 2 ", which are pivoted on the intermediate part 3' pivoted (pivot axis A).
  • This variant allows the connection of the cable connector with round cables 5, 5 'in a simple manner not only in a workshop, but at any place where such a connection is to be realized (insertion of the round cable wires in the intermediate part 3 followed by closing the cover part 5 or 5 ').
